Last spring, I planted a few tiny azalea bushes, not expecting much. Fast forward to now, and my backyard looks like a pink and purple jungle! I swear, these blooms doubled in size just because I started mulching with pine needles and kept the soil a bit acidic. Watering early in the morning helped too, especially during those hot weeks. Every time I walk outside, I feel like I’m in a floral wonderland. My neighbors keep asking what my secret is, but really, it’s just about giving the plants what they love. Now, I can’t stop taking photos of these giant blossoms. It’s wild how a little care can turn a few shrubs into the star of the block. #gardening #azaleas #backyardbliss
